Motorists traveling both directions of the Portland Avenue Bridge spanning Interstate 35E in Burnsville will encounter delays beginning this morning.

Both directions of the Portland Avenue Bridge will be shifted to the northbound lanes (southbound will be using part of the turn lanes). Once crews complete work on the southbound lanes traffic will shift to the northbound side of the bridge.

This is National Child Passenger Safety Week as proclaimed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the time of year when parents of children are urged to be sure their young passengers are buckled up and in the correct car seat for their age and size.

A semitrailer truck rolled over on the ramp from Dodd Road to westbound I-494 Monday morning leading to a huge backup extending more than 8 miles into Woodbury, the Minnesota Department of Transportation said.
